Sonic child (CD, fra Zodiac

This is rock music at its purest and most diverse: with their current album "Sonic Child" the Münster band ZODIAC absconds from classification into an epoch of music history or any genre. The songs on "Sonic Child" are traditional and diverse in nature, with strong riffs and pushy drums. They touch blues in a comfortable way but never with a lack of roughness. Singer Nick van Delft is in the centre of the whole thing, and tells stories of small adventures and great gestures. Some seems to be located in the desert of Arizona ("A Penny And A Dead Horse") while others seem to happen in the cotton fields of Mississippi ("Rock Bottom Blues"). The best statement about their artistic visions comes at the very end: "Just Music". Yes, that is what it is all about.
